How Many People Make Themselves
Most DisagreeabIe Sometimes

IL IS an established rule of social inter.
course that individual tastes are not to be
made matters of discussion or of observation
IL would II they were never made matters of
display. In doing this person is constant
~ putting himself in opposition to his neigh

comes as travelling companion Mr.. Wood
shows us in his volume. "Under Northern
Skies" The author fell in with an old gen.
tleman on board Swedish steamboat, who
must nave been, he concluded, prig in his
younger days.
One morning keen east wind was blow
ing, the sun had gone in; for the time being
the upper deck was as cold as the Arctic re.

Lovely weather" the old gentleman re-
marked
Dead silence Moor agreed.
"Ah J! he said, "too cold for you, sup
pose. Now, don't call this cold at all it
is simply bracing."
His face was blue, his teeth were chatterinp
his coat collar was up, his shoulders were at
his ears.
i suppose you'd rather have west wind
and sunshine. Now, | wouldn't. Give me
an east wind and gray sky not that ever
lasting glare which dazzles You, or a hot sun
that grills you and gives you prickly heat
and splitting headache. No, no, none of
your azure skies and west winds for me;
gray sky and an east wind and I'm all right.

Santa Claus.

The history of Santa Claus-a curious mix
ture of truth and fabe-goes far back into
the ancient time. Centuries ago a child
was born in Asia Minor who received the
name ofNichOlas. His parents were wealthy
and of high rank, and desiring to express
their gratitude to God for the birth of their
son they resolved to educate him for the
Christian priesthood. The child was sober
and thoughtful, and while young both his
parents died and he inherited their great
wealth. He considered the riches a sacred
trust. He fed the hungry, clothed the desti-
tute, and performed all manner of good deeds
as secretly as possible AS priest he was
greatly beloved; as bishop he continued
his benevolenCc. After his death the church
canonized him and he became one of the
greatest patron saints, being revered as the
helper OF the poor, the protector OF the weak,
and as the special patron of little children,
who were taught TO believe that their good
gifts came from him. ST. Nicholas was the
name given him by the monks, and this
iamiliarly changed TO Santa Nicholas; and
finally clipped down to Santa Claus, who is
still represented as retaining his old habits
OF secret benevolence, and descends the CHM
ney Mt night laden with Christmas pres
ents for the children. A pleasant fiction it is
to them, under the cover of which that
charming secrecy concerning the donors of
gifts is kept up, though little eyes and ears
and minds are keen, and Santa Claus is usual
ly very well known to them rs a much more
modern parsonage than ST. Nicholas. Bnt
the children enjoy the harmless pretense, the
mysterious filling of stockings, and the
heavily laden Christmas tree.

Showed How il Was Done

A jolly party was sitting around table at
n restaurant at Frankfort on-thc Main, Ger
many, talking about the numerous thefts of
fall overcoats which had lately been reported
from every part of the city. They all agreed
that such thing could not possibly happen
TO any one of them, as they had their eyes wide
open. Nevertheless" interposed a gentle
man sitting at the next table, III would, if
need be, undertake to prove that any one of
your coats could easily be distracted from
under your very noses" They were aston
ished, but he explained that it was only ne
cessaryto engage man in an interesting con-
versation and while lie continued under,
the influence to arise, take his overcoat
put it on, light n cigar and leave the
room with gracious bow The entire
company kept up continuous roar of laugh
ter at the amusing tale and the still more en-
tertaining practical illustration with which
the reater accompanied his words and walk
ed out of the door. He did not come back,
neither did the overcoat with pocketbook
with 800 it.

flower partially down the centre. One-half
of the split flower is intended to represent
the man, and the other half the woman, and
it is meant typically to imply that, though
separate bodies, they are joined together at
the heart. If the lover puts the flower in
his hair, it is sign that he wishes to pre-
serve her favor, but, if he tears 1t asunder, it
is a token that he has lost his regard for her
and wishes to be entirely separated.

o little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy darkness shineth
The everlasting Light:
The hopes and fears Of all the years
Are met in thee tonight!
For Christ ia born of Mary;
And gathered all above.
While mOrtals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
o Morning stars, together
Proclaim the Holy Birth,
And praises sing TO God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently
The Wondrous gift is gwen;
So God imparts TO human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may near His coming:
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.
o Holy Child OF Bethlehem,
Descend to US, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,-
BE born in US to-day,
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
Oh. come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
